He presented his brother for the first time after being decorated with the medal of the National Order of Merit with the Silver Palm on January 10, 2021.
A Lebanese distinction that he received following his charitable commitment after the deadly explosion in the port of Beirut when he organized the concert I Love Beyrut where he raised more than a million euros. A sum that he had entirely donated to Lebanese associations. Two brothers who look exactly the same.
Very close to his brother, the 41-year-old singer was present at his wedding to decorator Fabrizio Casiraghi on June 20, 2022. A ceremony which was held at the Anglican church at St. James Episcopal Church in Florence. Fortuné fell in love with this handsome Italian from Milan who studied architecture and town planning for a long time at Politecnico.

Interviewed by AD Magazinehe opened the doors to his new cozy nest with Fortuné, a former artist's studio that he completely renovated.
“This small duplex apartment, with its large glass roof, is a former artist's studio, that of the painter Paul Vayson who worked there at the end of the 19th century. It is this vision that has inspired me throughout my installation here. In keeping with the taste of the moment, this space was filled with works, so there is no question of minimalism!“, he confided.
A fan of the 1920s and 1930s, he added: “This period of design speaks to me, whether through Josef Hoffmann in Austria or Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann in France (…) The 1970s also interest me, particularly the way in which designers – Nanda Vigo, Gae Aulenti.. . – used metal“. An artist who we imagine getting along wonderfully with his brother-in-law Mika.
